Re: [SOLVED] How do I Assign a picture to Category?
You can do it vía category names, naming pictures equal than the category you want to illustrate. That allow you to retrieve the image vía CSS or HTML:
Img/<txp:category/>.jpg
.category-name{ backround-image:url(img/category-name.jpg)}
Perhaps there are other better ways but without plugins I think this is the simplest one.
<txp:rocks/>

You could also create corresponding image categories and use <txp:images /> tag. Both solutions are error-prone, but there is no “inter-type” categories in Textpattern.

Another way us to create images with their name being the same as that of the category.
So the resulting code would be <txp:image name='<txp:category />' />
> Edited to add that care should be taken so as not to have 2 images with the same name

Re: [SOLVED] How do I Assign a picture to Category?
I wouldn’t go the plugin way as much as I fully respect Mary’s work.
If you want the category image to appear only when you are in a category listing page you can easilly achieve this using native tags.
<txp:variable name="categoryname" value='<txp:page_url type="c" />' />
<txp:if_variable name="categoryname" value="">
<txp:else />
<txp:image name='<txp:category />' />
</txp:if_variable>Yiannis
